David Coon's only other Green MLA ally is Megan Mitton of Tantramar first elected in 2018 and also educated at McGill University. Tantramar has Mount Allison University in its riding and those "educated" folks support Mitton and promote her.
David Coon has two universities in his Fredericton riding which also helps to prop him up.

"Conservation career
Coon worked as an environmental educator, organizer, activist and manager for 33 years, 28 of those years with the CCNB.[9][10][11]
In 1986, Coon critiqued a United States Department of Energy-proposed nuclear waste dump site near Maine's Bottle Lake, stating that "burying this stuff at Bottle Lake is an inexpensive and rough way of getting these things out of sight and out of mind."[12] He also criticized Irving Oil for having "not shown much interest in trying to solve the pollution problem" in relation to a series of gas leak incidents causing pollution throughout New Brunswick, particularly in the Saint John area.[13][14] In 1988, following an apology towards Canadians by Vermont official Jonathan Lash for the lack of U.S. progress to combat acid rain, Coon criticized the governments of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for "causing much of the acid rain problem in their provinces." He added that "approximately 80% of the acid rain-causing pollution emitted in the Atlantic Provinces is caused by the New Brunswick Power Commission and the Nova Scotia Power Corporation," also highlighting that both "have plans for new coal-fired power plants." Sharing the risk of acid rain in the region, Coon pointed out 175 bodies of water in New Brunswick "known to be at risk from acid rain" and added that "half the lakes and rivers in southern Nova Scotia are deteriorating."[15]
As part of the CCNB, Coon was also involved in the anti-nuclear movement in New Brunswick which opposed the construction and subsequent upgrades of the nuclear reactor at the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station. In 1989, Coon stated that "the mere possibility of a serious accident with the reactor or radioactive waste stored at the site is too great a risk to justify expansion of nuclear power in the province," further adding that "It's one of the newest and it cost us a billion dollars – it better work."[16]
In 2002, Coon received the New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN) Phoenix Award for "his devotion to conservation and sustainable communities and for his thoughtful guidance, which has been a source of strength and inspiration for New Brunswick's environmental movement over the past two decades."[17] Later that year, he also received a silver award in the Canadian Geographic-sponsored Canadian Environment Awards,[18] and received another NBEN Phoenix Award along with fellow CCNB member Inka Milewski in 2004.[19]
In 2006, Coon criticized Irving Oil's proposal for another refinery in Saint John, stating "apparently, Mr. Irving hasn't heard we're in the midst of a global meltdown. Every new barrel of oil that is pumped out of the ground and refined is making the problem worse."[20] Coon has also provided education and training in energy efficient home renovation and home-based renewable energy systems, writing a regular column for The Globe and Mail on the topic. During his time as Policy Director at the Conservation Council, Coon's work to protect drinking water led to the creation of New Brunswick's Clean Water Act and to the province's Petroleum Product Handling and Storage Regulation.[citation needed] This earned the New Brunswick environmental organization the United Nations Environmental Programme's Global 500 award.[21]
Coon has advocated for community-based ecological resource management and land use. He worked with commercial fishermen's organizations to establish the Bay of Fundy Fisheries Council to advance community-based fishery management. His collaboration with the National Farmers Union helped create the first agricultural conservation club in New Brunswick.[citation needed]
He was a founding director of Canada's first community supported agricultural initiative, Harvest Share Co-operative on Keswick Ridge,[22] and co-founded the New Brunswick Community Land Trust.[citation needed]
In 2008, Coon began serving as the CCNB's executive director.[23] Following a 2011 radioactive spill at Point Lepreau, the only nuclear power plant in Atlantic Canada, Coon pushed for more details to be released to the public about the incident, stating that "they need to release the actual information on the radiation levels and exposures that might have resulted in this case."[24]"
